I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands and wrote my will across the sky in stars to earn you Freedom.
- T.E. Lawrence

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act out their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

Thomas Hardy was wise.....

The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.

Can't argue with that description...but he wrote lovely books...depressing, but lovely! Gabriel and his 'unrequited' love for Bathsheba.

Whilst trying to remember the name of the guy that Bathsheba married I knew it was Sergeant and an ancient greek name! I googled the book and found this link...hysterical! Puts FFTMC into a totally different perspective!!
